Wyatt had been working on finishing off the last shreds of the rebellion when he'd felt it. He never thought he'd feel such a thing again – not until he'd finally captured his little brother and insisted that the boy lower his shields.
It was strange too, the way it felt. The bond was so strong and so open. The last time he'd felt the bond this open was when Chris was a mere child and still had complete faith in his big brother. It had been such a wonderful feeling.
The instant the bond went away Wyatt had tried everything he could to get it back, he missed it; he needed it. In a fit of rage he released a burst of energy that destroyed everything within a twenty-mile radius. Coincidentally, this left a glaring beacon as to where the last of the resistance were hiding (only building left standing amongst the rubble).
With his enemies taken care of Wyatt now had ample time to devote to finding his little brother and even better he now had a place to start looking. The bond not only told Wyatt that Chris was still out there but also when Chris was.
He made sure that the space he had created for his little brother was ready; secured and escape proof. Wyatt didn't want Chris leaving the second the older one turned his back. For years Wyatt had tried to get his little brother off the streets, out of the underworld and safely tucked away in the castle. Stupid boy just wouldn't stop fighting him.
It wasn't Chris' fault though. Wyatt knew better than to blame his baby brother. It was the fault of his 'family'. Thankfully Wyatt has already dealt with the remnants of the family. All that was left now was him and Chris.
Smiling to himself Wyatt locked down his quarters and opened a portal. He would be gone only a short time and he wouldn't be coming back alone.
Chris was in a state of shock. First Piper and Leo had gone mental and were keeping him hostage and now Wyatt was here. Not the baby Wyatt of this time but the big, evil overlord Wyatt from his own time.
"You're Wyatt?" Leo asked stunned.
Wyatt snorted, "Now, why would you ever think that?"
"Cut the crap Wyatt" Chris said, rolling his eyes. He loathed the idea of fighting Wyatt; he hoped to merely annoy the man to go away. It never worked but was always fun to try.
"You, little boy, can just stay quiet" Wyatt replied, "The adults are talking"
Chris glowered at his brother, "I'm not a child Wyatt"
"Right…" Wyatt drawled out as he took a half step closer to his little brother, "Of course you're not a child, you just enjoy acting like one"
Leo was confused, what was Wyatt doing in the past? "How did you get here?"
"That's none of your business Leo" Wyatt snapped, "It's irrelevant anyway. I'll be leaving soon"
Chris jerked back as Wyatt made a lunge for him. Leo, see what was happening reacted on instinct.
Wyatt watched in irritation as Chris vanished in a flurry of blue orbs. He was about to accuse his little brother of being a coward when he heard an infuriated scream come from the first floor.
Chris couldn't believe Leo! Why had the man trapped him in this bloody playpen? For a third time! He wasn't a toddler, he didn't belong in a playpen!
"Chris?" Piper asked confused. She had heard her son's scream and had come to investigate, "Why did Leo put you in the playpen again?"
"Because he's an asshole" Chris replied.
"Now, now Christopher" Wyatt admonished as he appeared in a stream of black orbs, "You know you're too young to use that type of language."
"Screw you" was all Chris had to say in reply.
Wyatt was confused. Why was Chris standing in a playpen? Why had Leo put him there? What was going on?
"Chris!" Leo sighed as he barreled down the stairs and saw his youngest safely tucked away in the playpen.
"You moron!" Chris exclaimed as he caught sight of Leo.
"What is going on?" Wyatt asked.
"That impassible trapped me in this damn thing" Chris explained pointing an accusing finger at Leo.
"I put you there to keep you safe" Leo defended himself.
"How the hell am I safe if I can't defend myself?" Chris demanded to know.
"Because he" Leo paused to indicate Wyatt, "Can't get you"
"And why wouldn't I be able to get my little brother out of a playpen?" Wyatt asked thoroughly confused.
"Because anyone or anything who wishes him harm cannot cross the barrier" Leo explained smugly.
Wyatt smirked, "That's a brilliant idea"
"No it's not" Chris insisted.
"And why is this all so wonderful to you?" Leo inquired slightly nervous. Had he screwed up?
"Because I am one of the only two people in the world who has never wished my little brother harm" Wyatt replied as he moved towards the playpen to get his little brother and head home.
Just as Wyatt was about to take hold of Chris someone yelled out.
"What the hell is going on here and who are you?!"
Everyone turned and stared at the one person in the entire world that would cause Wyatt, the ruler of the world, to stop what he was doing and stare in awe.
There, having just stepped out of the shadow of the doorway was the one person he never thought he'd see alive again. His mother.
